Jungle Book Theme (Mowgli) Ringtone

February 20th, 2010 1 comment

We all loved The Jungle Book that aired on Doordarshan when we were kids. :) It started during the early 1990s.

And now, I have set that song as ringtone on my mobile :) Now, that’s the good part. Here comes the bad part – whenever my phone rings in a crowd, people stare @ me and often I end up being a laughing stock :( But I haven’t changed my ringtone yet ;) Read more…

I have some strange hobbies to kill time in holidays. One of those is collecting various Advertisement MP3s and setting them as Ringtone on my mobile just to amuse people around me ;) Some of them, I could get from the official site of respective companies/products and some of them were very rare to find.

I hesitate to call these MP3s as ringtones as they are just normal MP3s; some of them may contain only prose and no tone !. It’s just that I use them as ringtones ;)
